Eve Gene

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Black woman, unprotected in this world

Is she loved?

Is she treasured?

Is she heard?

Oh, black woman

Are you wanted in this world?

Oh, black woman

Are you valued in this world?

They try to look you over like they don't care

They say they want your body but not your hair

Oh, they tell you change your nose, keep your skin too fair

But everybody knows it, deep down, they're scared

'Cause oh, black girl

They owe you apology

Oh, black girl

Don't give them your energy

You're the healer of the world

You're the healer of society

You're the healer of the world

You're the healer of society

Talk, they call it evening 'cause it's black as Eve

Mitochondrial gene

Rotating my behind, how it fit in my jeans

Black don't lack, Henrietta

I'm singing Erykah

Healer, I feel her

What's a King if he ain't got a Coretta?

Ask Hakeem for a queen

He'd fight a lion

Y'all stay lying

Tryna lower our self-esteem

Feel unseen and unprotected

Brainwashed brothers

Learn from the real ones that check you because they love us

How you hate someone that look like your whole mother?

Guess she should have used a rubber

But I don't judge her

Knowing each of us tryna make it

They take it

Too beautiful to change our faces (C'mon)

This beauty so contagious, no cap

Braided our hair as a map to freedom from racists

Innovative, nothing about this genealogy is basic

Where da roses, where da applause, we deserve praises

Without a black women, you'd still be stuck in the matrix, you know

'Cause oh, black girl

They owe you apology

Oh, black girl

Oh, don't give them your energy

You're the healer of the world

You're the healer of society

You're the healer of the world

You're the healer of society
